Achille Castiglioni wanted to create an easy to read, yet humorous watch. The case, made of stainless stee, can be removed entyreli from the band. The dial art worwork was designed by his friend, Swiss graphic designer Max Huber.

"Very often we try to read the time on our watches but can't: when we're in a hurry, when we're on our bikes, when we're tired, when we're taking a shower, when we're without glasses, when we're against the light, when we're going downhill, when we're in the rain, when we're having lunch or dinner, when we're in danger, when we're at a conference, when we're in company, when we're absent-minded. Hence the design. Choise of a very high precision, battery powered quartz movement. Establishment of maximum dial surface for the most suitable graphic layout. Easy replacement of strap, requiring no fastening devices. Attentive and exhaustive graphic research for the design of clearly and easily readable hours and minutes. The result is an "all dial" watch with easy and immediate reading. An essential design, based on the axiom of removing more than adding." Achille Castiglioni
